Requested move 19 November 2019

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page.

The result of the move request was: Consensus to move. I've left redirect as the hatnote, if anybody wants to have for and put the two at the top of Nancy Reagan and do away with the disambiguation page per WP:MULTIDABS, that will require the disambiguation page going for a deletion discussion.

Nancy Davis → Nancy Davis (disambiguation) – Among the three women listed at the Nancy Davis disambiguation page, only one was known to the public as "Nancy Davis". It was the stage name she used throughout her entire acting career in which she received star or co-star billing in her on-screen credits (poster for 1950's The Next Voice You Hear or 1958's Crash Landing) and it is the name under which she is listed in the American Film Institute Catalog. She is also the subject of virtually all "Nancy Davis" Google searches. The other two women were never referenced as "Nancy Davis". The astronaut, born Nancy Jan Smotherman, has used the name "Jan", not "Nancy" and her article bears the main header, Jan Davis. The computer scientist is likewise not known to the public as "Nancy Davis" or "Nancy Davis Griffeth", but as Nancy Griffeth or Nancy D. Griffeth and all her writings and references are under the latter two forms. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 08:42, 19 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Support. If there is a clear primary topic of the name, "Nancy Davis", it is the actress who achieved substantial success under that name before taking up another name. BD2412  T 18:44, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
